I hope I'm not asking too much but hopefully someone can help me. I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my AT&T HTC One X 2.20 with TWRP. Obviuosly I'd like to flash a rm like CM10. Can someone either give me a link to a you tube or website that can give me "step by step" instructions on how to do this safely. I really need the directions to be very specific as i don't want to lose my phone due to the process. I've searched online and just can't seem to find the directions. Or if possible just give me the directions here. Thanks in advance.
There's a thread on this on the first page of the Q&A section, try looking there

Hi,
I wanted to ask my question in the very helpful post by xl VipeR lx:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300&highlight=htcdev
But since I am new it would not let me and I received the following:
To ask Questions about developing your device, installing ROMs, software and themes you must go to the Q&A or General Forum.
Remember, your question has very likely been asked already, so please search before posting.
I searched around and was not able to find the answer. It may be a silly questions but it's a simple one so hopefully someone can assist.
I have a HTC Sensation and want to root it and put CM7 on. Do I need to unlock the bootloader with instructions from www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions before following VipeR's posting on rooting?
Thank you in advance.
yes you do
Thanks

My main reason for asking is I don't want HTC to necessarily know that I unlocked it. Some of the other forum posts have folks who killed their phone. Users recommend putting it back to stock so that HTC warranty will cover repairs.
If I use HTCDev then they would know that I unlocked it (warning mentioned when you register with them).
Any way around that?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
My buddy who always roots my phones moved. I can someone please tell me what I need to do to get my att hox able to flash roms? I know the one click root but then what? Sorry In advance if this is a repetitive topic.
check out the development section for this phone. Everything you need to know will be there. Read up before you attempt anything. Make sure you understand the process. Help is always available here, just search first and I'm more than positive you will have success.

Everything you need is in the Development subforum, as mentioned.
To see the threads in a organized index, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
In particular, check out the links under "Root", and also the guides near the bottom of post #1.
Just start reading up as much as you can. If things still seem unclear after reading, and doing some searches, come back and ask specific questions.
I would learn adb and go the manual route. The guides are easy to follow. I never seem to have success with the one click root method on 1.85. If you're on 1.73 then use the one click.

I'm on stock ics I have unlocked my bootloader. I tried rooting it through all in one kit but my phone reboot and stay on the HTC logo screen intill I take the battery out and restart it but its not rooted still. I follow the guides accordingly but can't require root. After unlocking bootloader do I need to s off first then root please help I can even pay
wrong section, you n00b.
flash a rooted custom rom via recovery, and you have the root access. you don't need to root until you want to keep your stock rom
read more, follow guides and watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
delete this thread.
thread shouldn't be here and there's tons of noob friendly guides to show you.
but to answer your question yes S-Off first

It is the wrong section because unlocking the phone or rooting it belongs in Q&A as you are asking a Question and need an Answer to get your problem solved.
It isn't a collaboration of people finding a way to make a s-on phone permanently s-off or unlocking a bootloader or giving it engineering capabilities for all of XDA. Therefore nothing is being developed.
The place you want to post your question to quickly get an answer is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443587

as kohr-ah said it is in wrong section
and coming to the topic
as you are htc-dev unlocked
try my one click root tool..from my soff guide (link in my signature)
if you've unlocked your bootloader it should say (unlocked) at the top of the bootloader screen. you dont really need to s-off your phone just yet, if your phone has updated to ics it will already have the latest firmware already installed, so if i was you id install adb/fastboot then just use fastboot to flash your recovery instead of jumping to s-off you dont want to be messing that up
I think your in the wrong place if you have questions there's q&a part that you need to go

This is from the very first thread stating the rules for this forum
[MANDATORY] RULES FOR DEVELOPMENT Updated 21.03
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS FORUM IS ONLY FOR RELEASING AND DEVELOPING ROMS AND KERNELS.
SOME GUIDES REGARDING S-OFF AND FLASHING WILL BE ALLOWED BUT MOST WILL BE LINKED IN A REFERENCE THREAD
•Try to keep the development forum CLEAN! No offtopic posting and no questions.
•Use the report button in an offending post to let us mods know we need to take action. Dont take matters into your own hands!!!
•Sources need to be posted for all kernels!!!
•You need to use TAGS like [ROM] or [KERNEL] and so on as used in all dev forums throughout XDA
•Any disputes between developers should be handled by pm. No public posting in a dev thread regarding these matters
•Rom issues should be discussed within their respective threads
•Thread titles should ALWAYS coincide with ROMS ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!!! No advance notification of incoming ROM through thread title. A changelog for the yet unreleased Rom can be included in the OP or in another post CLEARLY MARKED as EXPECTED CHANGELOG
•Posting in the development section means automatic ACCEPTANCE of the above Rules
All posts that are NOT about ROM development, or development in general will be closed or deleted and posters that will choose to disregard the previous guidelines will be infracted.
As you can see only roms and kernels should be allowed in this thead. If you have a question it needs to go into the Q&A section or if it is about a particular rom that has been posted here it needs to go in that rom thread.
ok ok sorry
Ok I'm sorry if this post hurt your feelings because I posted in the wrong forum, I'm truly sorry ill take it down soon as I get home

man dude you rocks im rooted and flashed my phone now hanks
I'm looking to root the Sensation 4G by T-mobile but there isn't a thread labeled ROOT. What am I missing?
My hboot is 1.18.0000
I searched the entire "sensation android development" page for the word root and nothing came up. All other phones I've dealt with have a sticky that says something about root instructions.
Please someone point me in the right direction
Dude theres a Q&A section for a reason

Why? not searching enough What about searching for guide? [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on And as above use Q&A section for question and problems
WOW that thread is on the 4th page, every other phone I've played with was on the first page. Thanks for the help and thanks to those who took the time to respond and criticize, but not help at all.
I just bought htc one xl from singapore for my brother. It is on sense 5. Android 4.2.2
Still unrooted.
I managed to unlocked the bootloader successfully. But using wintool.

- flashing recovery, always failed
- rooting the phone
Anyone has idea?
H.boot is 2.15

Read my How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature, it has detailed directions on anything you need to do (including flashing a recovery). Ditch the toolkit and do it manually, it will provide some much needed learning experience, plus it's super easy. You'll also find my Evita FAQ thread in my signature which you can consult for any questions you might have in the future. Then there is my q&a thread, also in my signature, just in case those two threads don't have the answer, or if you don't quite understand an answer that you find.
